Land loss occurs at alarming rates due to factors like urbanization, deforestation, and climate change. Globally, it's estimated that 24 billion tons of fertile soil are lost annually due to erosion, while coastal areas are increasingly threatened by rising sea levels, with projections indicating that millions of acres could be submerged by 2050. In some regions, especially in low-lying countries, land loss can happen at a rate of several feet per year. This rapid loss poses significant risks to ecosystems, agriculture, and human settlements.
